Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Principal Zhang, I would like to ask you a question. Have you always worked in the education system?"

Hearing Lin Kaifeng asking about his work experience, Zhang Wanchun nodded.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he devoted himself to education and worked there for thirty years.

He was promoted from an ordinary lecturer to department head, vice president, and finally to university president.

"You have been working in the education system. Do you feel that there are some significant differences between university education before the cancellation of the college entrance examination and university education after the resumption of the college entrance examination?"

"the difference?"

Zhang Wanchun was stunned.

Clearly, the question was to let Lin Kaifeng express his thoughts, so how did it turn into asking myself?

Zhang Wanchun was completely confused, and Tian Youcai didn't understand a word he said.

The talents cultivated by universities are high-level intellectuals.

What is the difference between university education before and after the resumption of the college entrance examination?

It's nothing more than expert professors giving lessons to students.

Lin Kaifeng continued to guide: "In the past, college students studied and participated in production labor at the same time. They should learn about agriculture and industry."

"The university education model has changed fundamentally since the resumption of the college entrance examination. Students no longer do things unrelated to their studies. They focus on studying and attending classes, and complete various courses as arranged by their teachers."

Zhang Wanchun said with a complicated expression: "You are right. Before 67, universities cultivated not only intellectuals, but also talents in all fields."

"Students need to take some time every year to learn about agriculture and industry."

"But what does this have to do with what you want to express?"

“There is a great connection.”

Lin Kaifeng said without hesitation: "The reason why the country arranges college students to study agriculture and industry is because after graduation, college students will be assigned to work in various important departments."

"Some are in the agricultural sector, and some are in the industrial sector. If they only have the knowledge learned in school and no relevant agricultural and industrial practical experience, they may become Zhao Kuo who can only talk about war on paper if they enter the sector."

"The school-enterprise cooperation I have with your school belongs to another level of integration of work and study."

"The machinery company will provide a large number of internship positions for your school's students, and arrange for college students who are about to graduate to come to us for internships to learn about production technology and industry development. When the college students graduate and are assigned to various jobs, they will be able to contribute to the country's production and construction more easily."

"Our company is willing to become your school's first off-campus internship base."

"Principal Zhang, you are a veteran in the education field. Even if I don't tell you many things, you can see that the higher-ups have always advocated the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor."

"Northern Machinery Company has a large number of production lines covering many fields such as industry and electronic technology."

"Your school is an industrial university, and the students you train will all be engineering talents in the future. The school-enterprise cooperation is a decision that is in line with the national spirit and will definitely not attract criticism."

"Our company provides internship positions, and your school provides excellent graduating students for internships. This can not only improve your school's academic and students' practical abilities, but also provide guidance on production technology for our company. It is a win-win cooperation."

Seeing Zhang Wanchun looking thoughtful, Lin Kaifeng began to offer him benefits.

In addition to arranging internship positions matching college students’ majors, machinery companies also provide college students with internship positions matching their majors.

A certain amount of living allowance will also be provided.

Schools and enterprises form a pair of mutual assistance, connecting production, learning and research together.

Help each other improve their soft power through mutually beneficial cooperation.

"My company sincerely wants to cooperate with your school. To show my sincerity, I plan to take out 10,000 yuan from the company's account to set up a scholarship fund."

"Student fund? What does that mean?"

Zhang Wanchun was puzzled.

Lin Kaifeng explained: "The so-called student aid fund is intended to help students who have outstanding academic performance and are from poor families to solve their living expenses."

In the 1970s, ordinary people had just solved the problem of having enough food to eat.

Almost every household has no spare money.

If college students are supported solely by their families, it will inevitably create an additional burden.

To encourage a large number of young people to take the college entrance examination, become college students, and contribute to national production and construction.

The relevant departments squeeze out a portion of the very limited funds to provide scholarships.

Once admitted to university, students can receive a scholarship of more than ten yuan per month.

The scholarship fund established by the machinery company is similar to the scholarship provided by the government.

The annual scholarship fund of 10,000 yuan will support 100 needy college students with good character and academic performance.

"If Principal Zhang still doesn't understand, you can use this money as a scholarship."

Lin Kaifeng said.

Zhang Wanchun's eyes lit up. Tian Youcai, who was sitting next to him, said, "Principal Zhang, you may not know that General Manager Lin's machinery company is not only a major foreign exchange earner in their local area, but also one of the richest companies in the country."

"The book funds amount to hundreds of millions, and taking out 10,000 every year is just a drop in the bucket for a machinery company."

"With such generous conditions, why are you still hesitating? It's not like you are asking to keep the students in the machinery company forever. Letting them do internships in the machinery company is not taboo and can improve students' practical ability. Why not do it?"

After he finished speaking, Lin Kaifeng increased his bet again.

In addition to providing a scholarship of 10,000 yuan per year, Lin Kaifeng will also sponsor 50,000 yuan in research funds to the Industrial University every year on behalf of the machinery company.

Help industrial universities purchase teaching equipment and technical books.

"Mr. Lin, thank you, thank you so much!!!"

With a series of conditions coming down the pike, Zhang Wanchun was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

Every department is experiencing a cash crunch, and universities are no exception.

Lin Kaifeng took out 10,000 yuan in one go to sponsor 100 poor college students every year.

He also generously gave 50,000 yuan in research funding.

If Zhang Wanchun still doesn't agree, he is a big fool!

Immediately, Zhang Wanchun held Lin Kaifeng's hand tightly.

Good man, Lin Kaifeng is such a good man!!!

Lin Kaifeng said modestly: "Principal Zhang, you're welcome. This is what our company should do."

"If the school wants to develop, it needs scientific research funding. If our company wants to grow, it also needs the assistance of a large number of talents."

“When it comes to high-level intellectuals and important scientific researchers, universities are the best choice. Among these universities, your university is one of the universities with the strongest faculty in the Northeast.”

"The school has been established for a long time, has a good style, and has rigorous teaching quality. It is actually my honor to cooperate with your school."

A few free and sweet words made Zhang Wanchun dizzy.

Zhang Wanchun is not bragging.

Among the more than a dozen universities in Shenyang, no matter whether the liberal arts or science departments are added together, the overall faculty strength of any university cannot compare to that of the University of Technology.

Fifty thousand yuan is indeed a drop in the bucket for Lin Kaifeng's machinery company.

For the University of Technology, it was like a blessing from heaven.
